Joseph's death is not mentioned in the New Testament. However, given that he is not mentioned in any of the Gospels after the birth narrative tends to suggest that he died while Jesus was relatively young, but there's no way of knowing.

Answer/
It's known. The gospel account of the History of Joseph the Carpenter along with the Infancy Gospels impart his age - ' His life then in total, amounted to one hundred and eleven years, his old age being prolonged to the utmost limit.' Ref: translation of the Bohairic version of The History of Joseph the Carpenter.

∙ 12y agoThe last mention we have in The Bible of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, is in Nazareth, when the people of the synagogue there said:
" And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?" (Luke 4.22) For Jesus had come there to preach when he began his ministry.
There is no record of Joseph's death.

∙ 13y agoJoseph is last mentioned in the bible when Jesus is lost for a period of three days, and is found again in the temple. After this thereis no mention of Joseph at all. So he could have died young.

Is Joseph the dreamer and the Joseph father of Jesus is only one person?
No, they are two different people. Joseph lived in the Old Testament times (see Genesis) and Joseph lived in New Testament times. (Joseph was not really the father of Jesus, God was, but Joseph was only his earthly father.)

No they are two different Josephs, that was a common name then. Jacobs son Joseph was in the old testament, and lived centuries before Joseph the father of Jesus in the new testament..

If it is Joseph from the old testament then , Joseph wore a coat of many colors. but the father of Jesus Joseph wore clothes shown by artists and their imagination.
Were Joseph the father of Jesus and Joseph the son of Jacob the same person?
Joseph son of Jacob (Matthew's Gospel) or Joseph son of Heli (Luke's Gospel) is the father of Jesus in the gospels. Joseph of Arimathea was the rich man who buried Jesus in his own tomb. Some say that by doing so, Joseph of Arimathea was filling the role expected of a father in Jewish tradition.
Was Joseph and the coat with many colors the father of Jesus?
no Joseph and the coat of many colors comes from the Old Testament in the bible. It's found in Genesis 37:3 Jesus is born in the new testament and his birth can be found in Matthew
How old was Joseph husband of Mary when he died and were Mary and Jesus with him at that time?
The New Testament does not provide an answer to this question.
Was Joseph's father the same Jacob as in Genesis?
AnswerFirst of all, the Jacob in Genesis was certainly the father of the Joseph in Genesis. Joseph, the father of Jesus, came many centuries later than the events and people depicted in the Book of Genesis. Matthewsays that Joseph's father was called Jacob, and proceeds to draw a parallel between this Joseph and the Old Testament Joseph, thereby drawing parallels between Jesus and Moses. On the other hand, Luke's Gospel clearly says that Joseph's father was called Heli, its author apparently not having identified the possibilities developed by the author of Matthew.
What was the life span during the New Testament times?
As illustrated in the story of Superman and the Gospels, men left home when their fathers died. One potential disciple of Jesus actually told him that he would follow Jesus after his father died i.e. "... permit me first to bury my father." In Luke 12:52, Jesus does not mention the grandfather as part of the family members that reside under the same roof; it is father, mother, son, daughter, and father's mother. Alfred Edersheim makes the case that Jesus' baptism was in A.D. 26 making Jesus 30 years old when his public ministry began and traditionally soon after Joseph died. This places the death of Joseph at age 46 to 56 years. This made it unlikely that the average man in New Testament times would see his grandchildren. If Joseph were average, he would not have seen his grandchildren either and this age range would be typical for Joseph's male contemporaries.
How old was Mary when she became betrothed to Joseph?
I believe she was around 15 or 16 years of age.
Which gospel is oriented toward Jewish audiences?
Matthew's Gospel draws parallels between Jesus and Moses, especially in the nativity account.Matthew had Herod slaughter the innocent infants of Bethlehem because he feared Jesus, just as the Old Testament says that the pharaoh slaughered the Israelite infants because he feared Moses. Joseph went with Jesus to Egypt and Jesus saved his people, just as the Old Testament Joseph went to Egypt and saved his people. Matthew even says that Joseph's father was Jacob (Heli in Luke's Gospel) just as the Old Testament Joseph's father was Jacob.
How did Joseph showed his love to Jesus?
Scripture does not say much about Joseph after Jesus was twelve years old.
